Subject: Is this common everywhere?
From: Crystal
Posted: Fri Sep 14. 2007, 19:44 UTC
I have just moved back to the city after being away for a year and I am 
looking for a bartending job. I have bartended in a few different bars here 
before so I wasn't expecting it to be to difficult to find a job (this it 
their "hiring season" lol) 

But I was surprised to find that almost every bar wanted me to have at least 
the following:

- safe food handling cert.
- responsible beverage service cert.
- first aid

and some wanted

- bartender's cert.
- customer service excellence cert.

Where is this coming from? I don't have any of these and, except for last 
year, I've been bartending for a few years.

Ahhh...it's so frustrating! ...and making it hard to find a job...lol

Maybe they are just trying to weed out the newbies?

oh, I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada

Any thoughts or advice would be great!

Thanks
